I don't know about rules but I like IMG1.jpg best.  The young man closest to
the camera directs my eye to the man with his arm out who appears to be
directing traffic.  My eye moves from there around the picture but is never
directed off page.  I like this image very much.  I don't care for IMG2.jpg.
It has too much going on and I get lost.
